When you just love carbs

Do you have a medical condition requiring you to limit your carbs?

for sandwiches you could try using lettuce leaves instead. I find usually that when my carbs are low, I'm having more fats in my diet but when my carbs are high that it's the opposite. I don't really have any other food suggestions though. What I have been doing though is that if I go out to eat or a bbq, what I'll do is have a burger or a hot dog and not eat the buns. Or eat half of the bun so I can have a little of the bread taste but not overdo it. Good luck, hope you get some more suggestions ~

There are some excellent almond flour recipes using eggs, shredded cheese, coconut/olive oil for very low carb "swedish rolls" crackers, rolls, cookies, and pizza base from 'riced' cauliflower. All recipes use almond and or a bit of coconut (dense) flour which doesn't rigger response like wheat/grain does. Online are many many recipes which included the LCHF eggs, and cheese allowed, but reduces carbs dramatically..BUT most o these breads are higher calories per serving...so that counts...200-400 is a big hit, but can be planned for. I even saw goldfish cracker recipe that was LC! Just search

Bacon bread.

I have a crush on you now.

I'm not low carb, but I tend to eat around 40% and had them lower for a while. Mostly just because for me it's a good way to maximize my pleasure on lower calories. What works for me is either skipping the more carb dense course (bread, potatoes, pasta, etc.) in a meal -- for example, salad with protein for lunch instead of a sandwich or extra vegetables instead of a starch at dinner (maybe subbing in a starchier veg like winter squash or root veg to take the place of the starch course). I also tend to focus on getting a balance of macros at breakfast which can be a carb-heavy meal for lots of people (for me it ends up being reasonably low carb, as I like to have a vegetable omelet, although I may add cottage cheese or greek yogurt or fruit which ups the carbs some).

Beyond that, really just portion control -- I limit my servings of potatoes and pasta and the like and fill in the volume with vegetables and the calories with the meat/fish.

I try to eat under 45% carbs a day. I upgraded to premium so it's easier to tack macros. I'm not perfect all the time but i get it majority of the time! I hav pcos also add me! jacbianc5290
